2nd Amendment Debate TODAY

Don't forget to join us tonight at 5:30 in room 138 for a debate on how much regulation is Constitutionally permissible.

Free drinks will be provided! It's right after the TGIT - plenty of reason to stick around.

Arguing that gun regulation and licensing should be treated much like we do with cars is our own Constitutional Law Professor Stewart Jay. And we are proud to welcome Mr. Don Kates, a pro-2nd Amendment criminologist, retired Constitutional and Criminal Law professor, civil right's lawyer, and proud member of the ACLU. It should be a very interesting and unique 2nd Amendment discussion, with a lot of nuance that is usually missing from this important issue.

The Federalist Society is a non-partisan group that does not take official policy stances, lobby for legislation or candidates, or otherwise engage directly in political activities. Instead, its mission is to provide fora through which conservative and libertarian ideas can get a fair hearing. This blog is such a forum. Further, this is not an official University of Washington website. Opinions expressed are the author's alone, and do not necessarily constitute official sanction or position taking by the Federalist Society, the University of Washington, or any other organization.
